That sounds really really depressing. Almost as though we ought to go through life in sack cloth and ashes. Certainly we were all sinners, we all sin, and certainly we should show a measure of humility, but it almost sounds like you're saying that the Eastern church thinks that all Christians are less than worms. We're told in scripture that we're sanctified, that we're justified, that we're joint heirs with Christ, that we're more than conquerors, and that we can call God our father. Doesn't the Eastern church teach any of that? Is there any empowerment of the believer through Christ in the Orthodox church?
